Regionalmuseum Gantrisch

The Gantrisch Regional Museum deals with everything that the region, which stretches from the Sense to the Gürbe Valley, has to offer in terms of folklore, history and culture. The exhibition area of the museum is about 330 square meters. A large part of the space is taken up by the successful, annually changing special exhibitions. The permanent exhibitions with numerous objects from the collection are continuously presented in a new way and focus on regionally anchored themes. The collection comprises over 4,000 objects from the region. Among them are archaeological finds that prove the early settlement of this area, as well as objects related to the Way of St. James, the ruins of Grasburg, the early days of tourism, traditional costumes, as well as weights and measures, glass and ceramics, kitchen utensils and equipment used in agriculture and alpine farming. On request, the museum offers access to a documentation center with extensive text and image material of the region.
